In my input file a 4byte hexdeciaml string starting from 2 column. I need to copy all records for which second PD digit is greater than '12'.


input file

Code:


000001 P   *16  @029       
       D2115FF007FFF0044444
       7023C1604C0290F00000
---------------------------
000002 P    36 å 023       
       D2112FF040FFF0044444
       7034C3607C0230F00000
---------------------------
000003 P   %57  *027       
       D2136FF005FFF0044444
       7031C5774C0270F00000
---------------------------
000004 P   @19  *033       
       D2117FF005FFF0044444
       7023C1979C0330F00000
---------------------------
000005 P    69  ð022       
       D2112FF008FFF0044444
       7043C6904C0220F00000     




Output file should contain below recs.

Code:


000002 P    36 å 023       
       D2112FF040FFF0044444
       7034C3607C0230F00000
---------------------------
000003 P   %57  *027       
       D2136FF005FFF0044444
       7031C5774C0270F00000
---------------------------
000005 P    69  ð022       
       D2112FF008FFF0044444
       7043C6904C0220F00000     





I tried below sortcard but it is not working as desired


Code:


//SYSIN     DD *                   
 SORT FIELDS=COPY                   
 INCLUDE COND=(03,02,PD0,GT,X'12') 
 END                               
/*                                 




Thanks,
Siva

You had specified a length for the field of two bytes, the value you are comparing to is only one. Why use PD0 and X'cc'? So I went for CH and the X'12'. Experiment.

sivafdms,

You cannot use PD0 in this case as the hex values looks like this in hex for position 3 and length 2 bytes

Code:

X'1213'
X'1314'
X'1331'
X'1213'
X'1413'


PD0 ignores the leading and trailing , so you are left with

Code:

X'21'
X'31'
X'33'
X'21'
X'41'


And all of them are greater than X'12', so it copied all the records.

You need to use Williams suggestion of validating just 1 byte with hex format like he has shown.
